I’d sit this one out Lisa. A Poole fan criticising someone else’s track is like a homeless person criticising your curtains.

That wouldn't be the same Mr Bowes who was gonna be a world beater for the pilots 🤔. As I've said before your welcome to him and he is showing his true worth 😀

Poole fortunate that Riss is unavailable.

Correct and preparing crap tracks that provide little chance of anyone making a pass after missing the gate just makes every meeting a gating competition.

They all should be riding for coppers, it’s the national league not a pension fund

Only if he gated lol

Well that was unexpected!! Poole fans on here are just hilarious having the actual audacity to have a go at another track when the whole speedway fanbase knows Poole is by some way the worst track in the league Shovlar saying sedgeman is a good replacement for Riss either shows he is thick or simply trolling Let’s be fair if Oxford where at full strength they could have been close to 60

Yes indeed, pirates dodged a bullet there. Riss would have scored at least eight against a very lack lustered Pirates imo.

That's true because it was basically a road tonight. More dirt on my shoe. We should have been paid to watch that.

While you criticise Wimborne Road, the track is never, ever like that.

Just shows how bad the pilots are if dayle woods is on a paid max 😜🤣🤣

Correct, it’s worse.

Wimborne Road is never like this.

Welcome to the world of every other club whose had the displeasure of visiting Wimborne Road in recent seasons.

Yeah, but it's nice when they lose.

At least there was actual racing though.

Well we were never at the races all night but somehow we go to Wimborne Road only 12 down. Clearly our worst performance in a long, long time but we battled second half to give ourselves a chance. The track was appalling. Truly dreadful and passing was no existent. Dust and blue groove which Lee Kirby said was there and no rider would go off it. Every chance of going through when it looked at one stage we would get a heavy thumping.

Oh the irony of Poole lot complaining about a track 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Looks like you gated three times! 😉

Even more amazing when it wasn't actually raining! Haha. Just goes to show weather reports aren't all that accurate doesn't it? Oh well, I'm sure the crowd will benefit from not having the likes of you there. 🤡

UK Speedway also isn't taken as seriously by a good many riders who ride in Poland... "Much more fun to do"... "You can ride often with, and against your mates"... "No pressure, not like in Poland"... Quotes from the past couple of years from some who ride in Poland every weekend... Maybe machinery too isn't up to the levels of some who just ride the UK? You wouldn't want to spend a ton of money to not earn several tonnes of money...

Yes. Its good. Generally Lee Kilby on commentary and Laura Pollard doing the interviews.

Cracking evening. Decent crowd considering the forecast - although would have been bigger had more Poole fans made the trip. Lot less Pirates' fans tonight than Coventry brought a fortnight ago. Track prepared for rain that didn't come, but still favoured those who attacked it. such as Mitch McDiarmid. What a performance from Dayle Wood - masterclass in gating and also lovely team-riding in Heat 8 to ensure the 5-1.

Fantastic job by Wood. He was very consistent for Berwick last year. Hopefully he is making another step forward this year. Definitely wouldn’t have minded him being back a Berwick this year.

Some Swindon born twit posted that its pouring down all afternoon in Oxford !!

Poole fans whinging about a track lmao. How comical.

Your boys should feel at home then 🤪

Horlicks finished and pilots fans are off to bed night night 😜

If that meeting was on in my back garden.. I’d have drawn the curtains. My back garden is quite large btw

H15. Why didn't Lawson go from 2? Best chance to get ahead of Masters, and with such a blue line an overtake was never going to happen.

Absolutely not

Sedgmen is a good replacement for Riss at Oxford? Sigh.... your propaganda has started a bit early this season hasn't it?

Why? He is very good when fit. Sedgman a very good guest for Oxford. Bit of a track specialist. Pirates need to keep it close tonight.

That's the spirit!

Start time 1800 local, 5pm UK time, link here: Teams below:

If the Lions can restrict the Tigers to 50-40 they'll have done well. Can't see how the Lions can get the bonus point and it will be time to hand the cup back.

Is the Oxford streaming service any good? considering buying tonight’s stream to help support the club after its recent troubles.

There were no reports at all - just wild rumours

How many GP riders was he racing against last night.He is a decent rider though.Just saying his real commitment is not UK. where is his best Machinery I would ask.

I don't think it's a lack of effort tbh, I personally think he's been vastly overrated by some fans due to him being handed a GP wildcard as part of a nationality box ticking exercise. Jan has even lost his place in the Polish top league and has dropped down a league this year after being part of Torun's title winning team in 2025.

So. you say your drone was flying at about 20 feet above the ground and was hit by a motorbike spinning like a frisbee? Sorry claim denied!

The trouble with you doing this (and we’re all guilty of it at times) is you’re looking at it through your Lynn spectacles. You’ve looked down the scorecard and picked out one score from a rider that you think should have improved on his tally, and yet ignored that Ben Cook scored paid 15. Yes, it’s a poor performance this time around from Kvech who is usually better than that, but you won’t get paid 15 from Cook every week either so if you took four points off him and added it to Kvech’s score then nobody would bat an eyelid and it’d look about right. With my Ipswich spectacles on, I look at a combined 11 from Lawson and Musielak and I’m disappointed with that and would hope that would be improved upon next time, and the same for a 3 point return from Bangs. I’d expect improvement there also next time around. What ifs is an impossible game to play and we can only deal with what IS. As has been said before, you could ride 10 meetings on the same track with exactly the same riders and not get the same scoreline twice.

The lads 16 and just took his first ever win in the championship against Lewis Kerr, I think he’s more than entitled to celebrate!

The air fence problem has never been a problem with the fence itself, it’s what is behind the air fence

Even his own dad!

any eyelets or straps at the bottom would soon become a danger

To be honest I don't think its a bad thing, its been a bit 'vanilla' the last few seasons, particularly Lynn's end, let's get a little bit of needle back to whet people's appetite.

But the clubs sign riders knowing they already have a Polish contract.... Therefore, they 100% know they will be missing some meetings..

Just watched the footage and seen the photos. While I’ve seen the plans several times, that acoustic barrier is really noticeable and has taken away some of the best viewing spots. However, the old girl still looks great and the remodelled track amazing. It’s a shame we only saw one season on it and I’d say it was the best. I wish everyone involved the best of luck in getting speedway back to that iconic stadium sometime soon.
